Behavioral Medicine & Health Psychology

The Behavioral Medicine and Health Psychology department at Pain and Rehabilitative Consultants Medical Group is directed by Dr. Jess Ghannam, a licensed psychologist with a strong background in the behavioral and psychological aspects of chronic pain syndrome.

Behavioral Medicine and Health Psychology recognizes that there is often a strong psychological and behavioral component of chronic pain. Pain is often compounded by frustration, anxiety, anger, and isolation. Behavioral Medicine and Health Psychology uses many techniques including, but not limited to, teaching coping skills, biofeedback, psychotherapy, guided imagery, and meditation. Dr. Ghannam and the his team will develop a plan for each patient focusing on the optimal treatment to rebuild, reconnect and restore a lifestyle centered on wellness as opposed to disability.
